Teacher Gift Idea

I had hoped to post this earlier in the month but I somehow lost a little steam in my Christmas prep once we hit December and actually just finished these baskets over the weekend.

Our son's last day of school is tomorrow and so I thought I'd show you what we made for his teachers (he's in a teacher shared class where he has 2 teachers.)

This year I decided to make a Hot Chocolate basket.I started by making a jar of hot chocolate mix:

Then I made a set of cute little coasters. I love how they turned out. They were super easy and super cheap to make. All you need are tiles (I found mine on clearance at home depot), Christmas napkins, cork board, modgepodge and acrylic sealer. Check out this awesome tutorial.

I also included 4 Christmas mugs and some of the chocolate dipped candy canes and oreos we made. Mmmm, a hot cup of cocoa with a chocolate dipped candy cane to stir and oreos to dunk.Yup, sounds good to me!

Then I just threw it all in to a cute Christmas basket. And wrapped it up pretty :)
